Some of the last Jews of Yemen are leaving their homeland 

The Biden administration has called the war in Yemen the biggest humanitarian crisis in the world. That crisis has taken many shapes — war, famine and displacement. Earlier this week, for one small community in Yemen — this crisis has led to deportation. The Houthis, the Iran-backed group who control most of northern Yemen and the capital city Sanaa, have expelled 13 Yemini Jews from their homes. Now, there are fewer than 10 Jews left in all of Yemen. Host Carol Hills talks with Dov Levitan, a professor at Ashkelon Academic College in Israel and an expert on Israel’s Yemenite community.
